...forward, that’s for sure.”Aggressive from the start, Harvard certainly showed no signs of being intimidated by BU’s ranking. Crimson freshman Alex Killorn opened the first period with a solid chance to score, and later two saves by Hoyle helped kill the first Terrier power play. Having neutralized its opponent’s attack, Harvard made the most of its own scoring opportunity 11 minutes into the frame, when a soft wrister through the five-hole from sophomore Michael Biega gave him his fourth goal of the season.
